To WHoM ITMAY .co'NcEnNr B e it known Vthat. I, THOMAs J."JOLL of"Versailles, Ripieyrconnty, Indiana, have'inented a 'new sndnseful Machine forMaking WoodenrPalings'; Vsind dohereby declare the following to be affull, clear, and exact description thereof, referencebeing had'to the aeeompanyingdrawings, making partei' this specification.

This invention relates to-a. machine for sawing up and planing-of 1'gronden palingsat one operation.v

Figure 1 is a perspective viewof o. machine embodying my inventiom Figure'2 shows the upsetting mechanism deteched: Figure 3 is anienlarged view of the planing heads.' The 'st uf to be 'operated upon consists of boards or slabs auch as'..A,' of the same'lengtli and thickness as the d'esired pelings. This stu isoperated'uon upon a bench, "B, Gis -acircuiar saiwjournalled horizontally on the bench, abovewhose top it projects'for about a third of its"dia` metei'. This saw when in operation' cuts in direction of theworkman. Secured to-the'topof-the bench parallel to the saw, and at'any desired distance therefrom, is a guide orj'gauge, D. YIn order to secure thepro'pery taper to the paling I introduce betweenthe sa'w and theI .gauge AD n sliding. gauge strip or pattern, "E, of' the sainetaper as that desired for the palling. This p'ttem E ,hose| himdle, E, tov enable its propnision along the bench. Rising from theadvaneing end of the pattern E is astud, Gf, which at the'proper juncture strikes an arm, H, which extends llicritontslly above the bench from e system-of compound levorsl?, bearing two fingers, J and K, which, traversing suitbleperfcrations in the bench, act et the proper moment after sepration of a. paling to uptip the same so as to place it on edge and consequently in` a suitable position forthe actionof the planer. In performing thiszserviee the nge'r J acts as a vstop or rest to hold one edge of the paling'while the finger K elevates the other edge. This being effected, the fingers drop back byftheir own weightand the operator then reverses the slabA end for end,and applyin'gthe slidinggauge Eto the newly sawnledge thrusts the stuff again forward to .the v'notion of the saw. vThis'movement acts to advance the new uptuijned paling and causes'itto' enter andbe acted upon oy the planingmechanisni which I will now proceed-Kto describel.` The end ofv the advancing palingenters between a guide, L; and pressure roller, M, which members/:serve tog'conduct it'between a pair of planing 4or cutting heads, NN', revolving in direction oi the arrow'.I The shafts O Of ofthe cuttingheads-are-joi1nnalled horizontally in theiiench butivilringsuiiicientlyi` forward to cuse the convergence of the heads on-the cutting side by es much as the depthof a. ont. To enable shaift to drive theotherfthey'sre coupled together between Vtlieflieaclii by a. clutch connection, PP', each clutch, P P, has a screw-shank, p,- whieh is Atapped into theV end of its shaft;v oneor more washers, Q, beingv introdliced between the clntch and its shaft to serve to hold thep'lsningheads N N', to smooth nitbout wasting vthe particularstulf being operatedlupon. .From the Lplaning heads'theplingpasses under a segmentv roller, R, 'i which permits the adaiice but preventsthe retrogression of the nishedpalin g. The roller R is foi-this purpose pivoted in apnr ofchee'lis, S S', which act to sustain theside of the polini;` in 'transition'.

I elaiin herein 'new' and of my inventioni 1. The arrangement. of slidingigauge or pattern vstuds AGr, compound lever' Land fingers J and K, for uptnrning ofthe sawn paling" as set forth.

I 2. In the described 'combination with the saw, uptnrning.zip1:\ xx a,tl 1s, and gnides, I claim the double-headed raking planer N N', sdapted to operate as";set forth.

The arrangement of thesegm'entmoller R, cheeks SS', andplaners, N', sgzbsi :a.ntisl1 y'asA and 'for tithe purposes specified.l

In .testimony of which invention I' hereunto setmy hand.
